10 year old with a very small penis

[SquarePeggyLeggy]

My son is 10, he’s very tall and wears adult size shoes, he’s 41kgs. So overall growth, he’s on the large side. Athletic build. Clearly has testosterone happening, have had to buy deodorant, voice occasionally cracks, etc.
He has showered on his own for the past two years, so I don’t usually see him fully naked. He has a towel on. We aren’t a prudish family, we are naked in front of each other but it’s just circumstantial.
His penis is very small. I think it’s the same size as when he was little when it was normal baby sized. It hasn’t grown in proportion to the rest of him.
Is this normal?! My husband thinks yes and said that puberty brings a huge change. He has no worries about it, and the last thing I want to do is embarrass him or give him a complex. It’s not a topic you can google.
What should I do if anything and can anyone of older boys feedback? Thank you.

@DC3Dakota Like I said...you can ask. I had my two checked around that age for anything untoward as a routine check.

I was wondering about this to but about my younger son. He’s 4 and his penis is the same
Size as his brothers who’s nearly 2.

I don’t think it’s an odd question.

It grows with puberty , fret ye not
I was somewhat taken aback actually !

I have a younger brother, I’ve accidentally seen his penis a fair few times over the years. From what I can recall it was very small when he was 10 and then I accidentally saw it once he was an adult and it’s normal sized now. So I would say he’s just not been through puberty yet. I was a very tall 10 year old and had no boobs what so ever, by the time I was 17 I was a 32E, just give it time.

It'll change. Trust me. It's totally normal, OP. It'll all fall into place once he's in his teens.

Have you through about taking him to the GP and telling him it's a routine check up to ensure everything is growing as it should. Like a yearly physical exam or at at age of 10-11 like I have had with my two. Then maybe he doesn't need to know your worry

You don't need to do this, OP. This could really backfire and be quite a harmful experience for your DS. So, I wouldn't do this unless you really, really have warranted concerns. As I said before, in my previous post, your son sounds very normal. It's all a bit tiny and out of proportion at this age. By his teens, it'll all sort itself out. Believe me.

The difference between a super-small peen and an actual micropenis can be hard to decipher on your own.
commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Medicalstock_micropenis.jpg SPL for nsfw adults. In an adult, the average stretched penile length is about 13.24 cm (5.21 in.). An adult micropenis is a stretched penile length of 9.32 cm (3.67 in.) or less.

I've read this with interest as I have a 10yo DS with similar situation.

My added question is about foreskin retraction. DS does not appear to be able to do this at all, whereas both his younger brothers have been doing this themselves since about 3yo.

He has no soreness that is visible or that he complains of. So I don't think there is infection. DH had a tight foreskin so it's possibly hereditary. His ripped a little at the frenulem during sex as a 19 so it sorted itself out I suppose.

Should I take DS to the doctor or leave it until after puberty if it still doesn't pull back?

Also, he still baths with his little brothers too, I am encouraging him to shower alone now as I wonder if he should have a bit of privacy despite not taking it upon himself. Just a bit conscious that other children his age are and yet he seems to want to play potion games in the bath with his brothers still! It's so innocent and sweet when they play in the bath altogether I've been reluctant to force the change but I think I should.

I have a similar question to @BigDecisionsLittleTime above re foreskin. My ds8 can't retract his either and although it hasn't caused problems thus far, I'm worried it may do in his future. We were given steroid cream a couple of times by the GP but it made no difference at all.

I know I'm resurrecting an old thread, but I'm wondering what the outcomes were for those who posted on this thread worried about their own children? @SquarePeggyLeggy

I've started my own post but just found this one too (should have searched first!)

Also interested in updates.

Op long gone but I have DS10 and often wondered the same.
